"Happy?" 

"I am the furthest thing from happy when I'm in a room with you."

~~~~~~

At the start of the 2022 Formula One season, defending World Champion, Max Verstappen, is ready to fight once again for the title. At the first sign of weakness, nineteen other drivers stand ready to pounce and seize victory for themselves. For Max, with his place in racing history on the line, failure is not an option. 

Since the introduction of the hit reality Netflix show, Drive to Survive, the drivers have had to perform on the world's largest stage, with millions of critical eyes watching on. This year, to ensure the continuation of record-breaking ratings, Netflix have struck a deal with each Formula 1 team. A dedicated buddy is to be assigned to each driver with the aim of securing exclusive behind-the-scenes content. 

As someone with a PR problem and an anti-media reputation, Max is informed by the Red Bull senior management that this arrangement is absolutely mandatory. 

The one positive?

He gets to choose the buddy.All Rights Reserved

Little Lion Man | Max Verstappen by tonysnarky

❝They call him the Dutch Lion.❞ ❝Yeah? To be honest, I think he's more like Scar from The Lion King, but whatever.❞ In the high-pressure world of Formula 1, Red Bull Racing is crumbling. Half the team has quit, morale is at an all-time low, and Max Verstappen-the reigning champion-is battling not just a losing season but a mountain of frustration, anger, and self-hatred. Known for his icy demeanor and explosive temper, Max feels more isolated than ever, unwilling to accept the changes around him. The last thing he wants is a new Personal Assistant. Enter Emilia "Emmy" Jones, a vibrant redhead who seems to radiate sunshine wherever she goes. She's everything Max despises in this moment of chaos-optimistic, talkative, and insufferably cheerful. To Max, she's a storm he didn't see coming, and no amount of biting sarcasm or coldness can drive her away. Emmy is determined to do her job, even if it means braving the tempest that is Max Verstappen. What Max doesn't realize is that Emmy isn't just some cheerful distraction. Beneath her bright smiles and playful energy, she's hiding her own storm. She's not the unshakable beam of positivity he assumes-she's a force of nature battling scars of her own. And while Max can't stand her constant happiness at first, it doesn't take long for him to see that Emmy isn't just sunshine. She's a hurricane-wild, fierce, and unpredictable. And she might just be what Red Bull, and Max, need to survive. Because sometimes, it's the storms that reshape everything.

F1 Groupchat by F1fan5and7

We all love the drivers, that's just a fact. And we all ship them. That's a fact too. This book is full of memes, pictures, comments, happiness, sadness, anger, and the most important thing: it's about friendship and true life! New book, new drama (or new Netflix series) boyxboy, driverxdriver MotoGP included F2/F3 included Of course with former drivers This "true life" is obviously only my imagination but I will try to write it as realistic as possible. So no shape-shifting this time :)

Lie To Survive | Leclerc x Verstappen by thef1ficsgirl

The Drive to survive set was always crowded and noisy, but this year Charles just couldn't stand it. After Max Verstappen, his nemesis, had won the championship last year, he had been counting the days to his next "Drive to survive" interview because he knew It was going to be the most awkward ten minute piece about Max. What he didn't know is that they would have been filming both their interviews at once, on the same set, and have them right in front of one another. This, Charles didn't expect.

"Max doesn't know what to say. His eyes draw over every inch of Charles's face. His green eyes with brown specks, the sweat dripping down his face, his lips curled in a small smile... "If only you saw yourself the way all of us do. The way I do." Max and Charles have been circling around one another ever since they can remember. Heading into the 2024 season, Max doesn't know if he can keep his feelings locked inside for much longer. Canonically follows the entire 2024 F1 season, with chapters posted after every race. Completed. Sequel in 2025!

It's 2023 and Elodie Carter's second season in F1 begins in her new team, Red Bull. Partnered with back-to-back champion Max Verstappen, she's on the hunt to become the youngest ever World Driver's Champion and the first female World Champion. However, it won't be easy with her old mentor Lewis Hamilton finding himself in a competitive car and gunning for his eighth title, Max looking for the triple along with a newly rejuvenated Ferrari team looking to restore glory after a series of embarrassing events the previous season. On top of this Elodie has to try and find a way to handle the growing tension between herself and Max, both of whom are struggling with the constant push and pull of their attraction to one another and now within even closer proximity it becomes harder to manage as the pressure mounts both personally and professionally. Swearing and seriously slow burn! None of the characters are accurate representations of the drivers, they're just characters with some original characters thrown into the mix.

"In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night Just call my name, I'm yours to tame" _______________________________________________ "Come with me, mon amour" Charles says in my ear and let his lip brush against my earlobe. "Non" I reply. "Cherie" Charles says to persuade me to go with him and I chuckle. "Keep begging" I say and I didn't have to pretend to be turned on. His hands slide down from my hip to my thigh. "S'il vous plaît, Cherie" Charles whispers smoothly in my ear. (18+ Mature content) (All rights reserved) (Pure fan fiction) (Started: 26/12-22) (Finished: 30/01-2023)
